What does your current job entail? Is there such a thing as a typical day?
CF: I am the regional head of marketing for the Americas region (North America and Latin America) and my role is pretty broad. I'm responsible for driving the brand and consumer messaging within the region, so this includes oversight over all aspects: branding, media–for instance, digital, social, and print PR.
When you think about the Americas region, we have two very established markets in the U.S. and Canada, but we also have developing and emerging businesses in Brazil and Mexico, Chile and Panama. So, I am guiding those local markets and marketing teams to ensure that we're delivering on the brand objective. We want to build awareness in markets that are newer to us. For instance, Panama and Mexico and Chile are really focused on what type of spending from a media standpoint or what type of tactics that we would take from a PR or social standpoint, and to be able to do that, we build more awareness and let consumers know that we're in the market. In other markets it might be more about getting consumers to think about PANDORA and to keep us top of mind when they're thinking about jewelry. Those could be some of the issues or challenges that we face in other markets that are a bit more mature.
That's kind of a snapshot of what I'm doing, and I use all the tools available from a campaign aspect, [such as] data and insights to really understand the consumer and to make sure that what we're communicating is really going to resonate and actually drive some sort of action from the consumer, whether it be a click or an engagement, a like, a share –or store purchase, which is the ultimate goal.
On a typical day, there is no typical day. I usually get into the office around 8 a.m., and that's when I would spend that first hour kind of planning out my day and what I need to focus on. Usually, I have meetings… sometimes a mix of meetings with third parties, like my partners on the media side. We have this tool called PANDORA Listen, where we're able to understand the level of satisfaction that consumers have around the in-store experience. For example, today we will have a quarterly presentation on that to really understand how we're doing from a satisfaction standpoint. I also might have a meeting with some of my regional or country general managers, just to make sure that we stay close and aligned on what's going on and the priorities and what support I need from them.
What is the best part of your job?
CF: If I had to boil it down to three things that I really love about my job, it would be 1) I love leading a team of people who are passionate and talented and really trying to inspire them to be their best as individuals and also best as a team. 2) Is being able to have a deeper understanding of consumers and what motivates them, or doesn't. Really understanding those distinctions is very important, and my goal and the team's goal is to make sure that we're exciting people and women about PANDORA, so that always is a lot of fun. When you see something that really takes hold and grabs their energy, like PANDORA Shine, you get super excited about that. And then when things aren't working out so well you're kind of asking yourself a lot of questions and trying to dig deeper to understand what's going on.
And 3) is really just learning new disciplines and new areas. When I was in undergraduate school and business school there was no such thing as digital or social media really, so having to really stretch yourself and your capabilities to continue to learn. Now I'm putting in place a data strategy, like where's all this data going to live, how am I going to use it and how is it talking to each other? That is a whole new space for me. It's exciting and interesting, but it's completely new. So being able to learn new disciplines and new areas and being exposed to new streams of thought is also very inspiring and motivating.
What was your first entry-level job in your field and how did you get it?
CF: My first job out of college was I was a manager of financial planning and analysis at Northwest Airlines. Sadly, and I know that there are some people who have this situation as well, I actually did not have anything lined up when I came out of college. That was just because I wasn't completely clear on what I wanted to do and how I was going to get there, so I was really fortunate that I have a bit of a network, and my mother also did too. So, we were able to land an opportunity at Northwest in Minnesota.
I had gone to undergraduate at Howard University out here in Washington D.C. and then I had moved home after graduation and was going on a lot of different interviews and trying to figure it out, and then landed the role at Northwest in Minnesota. I definitely did not want to go to Minnesota but I think one of the things that I might suggest or want to reiterate is that despite the fact that it's not the ideal job, it was in my field, I was a finance major, but it wasn't necessarily in the location that I wanted. I don't really like Minnesota that much–nothing against the Minnesotans–and I didn't envision myself being there and I wasn't really that jazzed about airlines either. What I would say to people is, get your foot in the door, take the opportunity and learn, and then it's all about forward progressing. You just never know what opportunities could come up after that.
What words of wisdom do you find most valuable?
CF: One that I love that is actually sitting in front of me in my office is from Maya Angelou, and it says, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive, and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." I love that quote because I think it encapsulates everything. I'm mission-oriented, wanting to be confidently moving and forward, but you have to have something in your heart and something that really makes you get up every day. You have to care about people, you have to not take yourself too seriously. And of course, I've spent my whole career in beauty and fashion, and so you have to be stylish while you're doing it. I just love that one.
I don't even know where it comes from, but my mother says it all the time: "To whom much is given, much is required." And what I like about it is that it reminds me that I'm very blessed and that I need to make sure that I'm finding a way to be a blessing to others.
The last one that I really like, also from an unknown source, but my previous CEO used to say something very similar, and it is, "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." What I like about that is that it reminds me that you have to have experts on the team who can adjust the sales. You have to have a clear view of where you're headed because otherwise, you could go astray. And in some cases, you need to control what you can control.
What is one mistake you made along the way and what did you learn from it?
CF: I think I make mistakes all the time. I've made so many mistakes. The mistake that I think that I've made repeatedly, and it's one of the most unfortunate, is not to speak my mind sometimes. And I think we as women sometimes are very hard on ourselves, super critical, we want to be perfect, we want to have the right answer. You have to care for those you're communicating with. You have to understand your audience, you have to think about what you're trying to get across and make sure that it comes across clearly. But I think that the biggest mistake, and I would say that I make it daily still, is not speaking my mind.
What has been the most surreal moment of your career thus far?
CF: So, I am not super star-struck except when it comes to Oprah. One of the best moments of my career was when I got tickets to SuperSoul Sessions, and I actually met Oprah. I find her to be such an inspiring woman. She has such a relatable story, at least for me, with my family and our Southern roots. And I just love how she's making such a powerful and positive impact on the world.
What do you look for when considering hiring someone?
CF: When I'm considering hiring someone I'm definitely looking to see what you've done throughout your college career. I do look for achievement related to what you want to do because it says that you are committed to owning that and trying to embody that as much as possible. I also look for somebody who's adaptable because the consumer landscape, the retail landscape, marketing as a function, all of those areas are just evolving and changing so rapidly, so if you as an individual are not flexible and adaptable, then that could be an issue.
Lastly, I look for someone who's extremely optimistic, because if you're adaptable then you know that it's easy to sort of get down in certain circumstances. You need to really be able to rally the team, help to encourage them and help continue to drive the mission of the organization or your team or your department.
What advice would you give to a 20-something with similar aspirations?
CF: It's so important to maintain strong professional relationships. Joining clubs, getting to know people who are in similar areas, that is so important to making connections and getting to know the people who can actually help you. Remembering that building this network of friends and colleagues to help inspire, encourage and guide you is really the way that people get to the place in their journey that they want to be. People really want to help you. I think when you ask for help I find that people nine out of ten times respond and they want to help. I think just remembering that is really important.
Also, be responsible for your own life and having ownership and attention, meaning: What do you want to accomplish, who do you want to meet, and what do you want to learn? If you say to yourself what are those three things and start to write that down, then you can start to map out a plan on how you're going to get there. That's how you can prove to be super successful – engaging with folks who will be in the same area that you want to be in. Then I think it's important to be able to lead and also be able to follow, because I think that in today's world sometimes people want to start out the gate leading, but you also oftentimes start out the gate following and you have to lead many teams. So, figuring out a way to do both I think is critically important.
Specifically, as it relates to marketing, it's really all about getting experience, and getting experience in wherever you can get it. There's no perfect company, there's no panacea when it comes to a role or position. But, if you've defined what you want to accomplish, who you want to meet, what you want to learn, then you can define places and companies that you can actually go after and will help you to get those skills.
What's the one thing that's stood out to you the most in a resume?
CF: I look at the education and I look at the background of the individual, but there is nothing that can replace getting to know the person behind the resume. The interview is so critical. Really getting to know the person is so incredibly important, and what motivates them? Are they passionate? Can they lead, can they follow, are they adaptable, are they optimistic, are they someone I'd want to work with? Those things are really important, so that's how I approach it.
If I had to say one single thing on the resume, it is being able to translate your experiences into this message that communicates the situation, the task, the action and result, and being able to quantify the result is really helpful.

Q: .NET MVC3 Html.HiddenFor inside of foreach loop expecting a collection? Here is a portion of a partial:
@model IEnumerable<BLL.DomainModel.Jerk>

@foreach (var jerk in Model)
{
    using (Html.BeginForm("AddJerk", "Jerk", FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "jerkListForm" }))
    {
     @Html.HiddenFor(jerk => )
       @jerk.Name
       ...
    }
}

The type that the HiddenFor lambda is looking for is the same as the @model (IEnumerable), whereas I'm looking for a single object within that IEnumerable.
What am I missing?  Why is it still looking for a collection inside of the foreach loop?

A: All Html For Helpers provided by Asp.Net MVC use the model of the defined model for the page. What you can do is create an EditorTemplate. Create a subdirectory in your View folder called EditorTemplates such as in \Home\EditorTemplates\ and add a new view called Jerk.cshtml and assign your model that way.
Then you can use the Html.HiddenFor(f => f.Name) and so forth for each property. This will give you your typed access that you're expecting.
In your main view you would do the following:
@foreach(var jerk in Model) {
    @Html.EditorFor(m => jerk)
}

or you can call EditorForModel where it will automatically loop through and look for the EditorTemplate.
@Html.EditorForModel()

The EditorFor will look for the EditorTemplate you created first then it will go from there until it either finds an override or it will output one MVC thinks you might need.

A: I would use a for loop instead.  That way your hidden field will have the correct name.  If you use the helpers like in your example, all the hidden fields will have a name of jerk, which won't post back correctly.
@foreach (var i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
{
    var jerk = Model[i];
    using (Html.BeginForm("AddJerk", "Jerk", FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "jerkListForm" }))
    {
     @Html.HiddenFor(model => model[i])
       @jerk.Name
       ...
    }
}

If binding doesn't matter to you on the postback, you can simply do
@Html.HiddenFor(jerk => jerk)

A: @model IEnumerable<Type>

@foreach(var item in Model)
{

    @Html.HiddenFor(model => item)

}

Don't forget that Type must be de/serializable in order for this to work.

Here's how our technology has helped our customers grow their business, process more passenger bookings and recruit more drivers.
Abba Cars
All in all, I would wholeheartedly and honestly recommend the Cordic system to any fleet owner
"All in all, I would wholeheartedly and honestly recommend the Cordic system to any fleet owner who is looking to have full and fair control over their operation and is looking to have the best and most reliable system as part of their tools to grow their business in this challenging time."
The Passenger App helped Lawlor Cars quadruple their app bookings
The amount of control we now have on the App is phenomenal
"The amount of control we now have on the App is phenomenal. Allowing us to offer introductory vouchers is just one example which has led to us quadrupling our app bookings since July." – Lawlor Cars
Hampden Cars
We also have 24/7 support from Cordic
"We have IVR, Web Booker, Taxi Butler – and are excited about future features. We also have 24/7 support from Cordic... but to be honest, we have rarely needed to contact them outside normal working hours."
Your Local Car
The company uses Cordic technology to monitor cars at every stage of the journey
"Your Local Car uses robust, industry-led technology to make life easier for their customers. The company uses Cordic technology to monitor cars at every stage of the journey, keeping the customer informed of arrival times via SMS, email or the app. The system automatically issues receipts, so it's easy for businesses and individuals alike to track their expenses" – Your Local Car
Booking automation helped Hampden Cars & AC Cabs taking more bookings without increasing the size of their call centres
"We have a busy call centre with a minimum staff of six to ten at weekends; this has also decreased due to automation as 50 per cent of our work comes in via apps, IVR, and Web Booker." - Hampden Cars
"Around 45 per cent of our jobs are now taken automatically: approximately 15 per cent through the app and 30 per cent IVR. Our company has benefited from the whole package: the GPS tracking, Web Booker, every aspect." – AC Cabs
Interactive Voice Responder
In Eastbourne, call-a-cab manages a 100-car fleet with only 12 office staff, thanks to Cordic's I.V.R. technology
We have 12 office staff, a mixture of full-time and part-time, and we use the IVR system, which takes on a lot of the work. We were initially sceptical of using the IVR for various reasons, but it works very well with a very low rate of 'no-jobs'. We also use the IVR to advertise our booking app and to warn of longer waits as peak times.
KV Cars
Cordic's system doesn't let you down.
"It doesn't let you down. I've worked with a few systems prior to Cordic, and it's the ease of use and efficiency that makes it the best for us." - KV Cars
AC Cabs
As a forward-thinking company, we pride ourselves on using Cordic
"As a forward-thinking company, we pride ourselves on using Cordic, in our opinion the most modern and intuitive dispatch system available. The system gives us the ability to fully track our taxis, record all our phone calls and ensure that wait times are kept to an absolute minimum, so our passengers can get from A to B as smoothly as possible."
"We have been using the Cordic system, along with the Vale telephone system, since 2013; we find the Cordic support second to none. Any issues and they're on it straight away; this we believe is their biggest plus. We find the Cordic accounts side to be brilliant as well. "All in all we find it such a robust, user-friendly system we would recommend it to everyone."
Out of Town? No Problem!
Soft-Merger allowed Your Local Car to accept bookings even when they fall outside of their area
"The app also links with a vast network of other private hire companies in neighbouring districts and London, through Cordic's Soft Merger Gateway. This enables Your Local Car customers to order a taxi out of the company's own normal operating area. In turn, it allows the company's drivers to get a return fare more easily, reducing dead mileage. The people who really benefit are the local customers, who can rely on Your Local Car to get them home, which was particularly important during the recent rail strikes on the commuter run to London!"
– Your Local Car
Multi-fleet helped Lawlor Cars manage their fleet acquisition
This move allowed us to give more accurate fixed prices and gave us the opportunity for a multi-fleet option
"By mid-May 2017 Ongar Cars was under the Lawlor Cars umbrella and our fleet and expansion plans were gaining momentum… and, to improve the running of our operations, we changed our booking and dispatch system to Cordic. This move allowed us to give more accurate fixed prices and gave us the opportunity for a multi-fleet option …" – Lawlor Cars

The Hawaiian Islands Land Trust continued to protect the lands that sustain us here in Hawaii in 2017 with the acquisition of a conservation easement on 150-acres of Kealakekua farm lands on the Honolulu Coffee Company farm and an additional conservation easement on 10-acres of native ohia forest and native bird habitat in the Kona cloud forest of Kaloko.
With these additions to HILT's portfolio of protected lands across Hawaii, the organization has protected over 18,000 acres of Hawaii's special landscapes and their precious natural resources.
HILT staff and volunteers are engaged in the management planning process for Honolua Bay/Lipoa Point with the State Department of Land and Natural Resources, Planning Consultants Hawaii, and community organizations and stakeholders including the Save Honolua Coalition.
HILT staff and dedicated volunteers also continued ecological restoration work at each of the land trusts' five public preserves.
At HILT's Nuu Refuge in Kaupo, Maui, students and volunteers helped to remove invasive plants from over 1,000 linear feet of the Nuu pond. Bird counts this year indicate that the native waterbirds are doing well at this important wetland providing a connecting point between Maui and Hawaii Island.
Thanks to the many dedicated volunteers at the Waihe'e Coastal Dunes and Wetland Refuge, over 550 native plants were put in the ground this past year and many of the native species are thriving including the ko'oloa'ula.
Over 2-tons of trees and shrubs were cleared from the Maunawila cultural preserve, and community leaders began a kilo program to discover and map the celestial alignments at the heiau.
The Kia'i Kahili volunteers continued to conduct beach clean-ups at the beautiful Kahili Beach in Kilauea, Kaua'i.
Collectively, over 2,700 volunteers came out to help restore our public preserves and contributed over 6,600 hours to help malama these precious landscapes. Mahalo nui loa to all of HILT's incredible volunteers!
HILT's popular Talk Story on the Land series of educational hikes sharing about the natural and cultural history, and resources of our protected areas continued to engage residents and visitors on each island. The land trust was able to lead 65 hikes and share the importance of land conservation with 895 participants promoting the ethic of malama aina.
HILT Board Member McD Philpotts shares about conservation efforts with landowners at Palehua Ranch, Honouliuli, O'ahu.
HILT was also able to partner with the West Oahu Soil and Water Conservation District, the Division of Forestry and Wildlife and other partners to provide two landowner outreach events to Hawaii landowners interested in learning about the opportunities and benefits of voluntary land conservation programs in Hawai'i.
HILT had the privilege of honoring Sam and Mary Cooke and the Manoa Heritage Center for the 2017 Kahu o Ka Aina Award at the Malama Aina Kakou event at Lanikuhonua, Oahu. Over 250 land conservation supporters came out to help celebrate the protection and perpetuation of Hawaii's unique natural and cultural heritage.
We were extremely fortunate to have Celebrity Guest Chef Andrew Le from Pig and the Lady and Executive Chef Vince McCarthy of Merriman's Waimea provide an incredible evening of cuisine to celebrate at the 2017 Hawaii Island Paina in Waimea.
The HILT "Ohana on Kaua'i had a blast this year at the SOLD OUT Kaua'i Island Pa'ina with Celebrity Guest Chef Mark Noguchi from the Pili Group and Executive Chef Mark Arriola at Merriman's Fish House in Poipu, Kaua'i.
The 16th annual Buy Back the Beach at the Old Lahaina Luau was another incredible event with 348 attendees helping to honor US Senator Brian Schatz as the 2017 Champion of the Land.
We had an awesome gathering at the annual picnic at Waihe'e and were pleased to honor two of HILT's most loyal and dedicated volunteers, Tommy Morris and Tom Huber.
HILT was honored to receive a Preservation Commendation award from the Historic Hawaii Foundation at the 2017 Preservation Honor Awards.
It was also a pleasure to receive the Non-profit Sector Award from the Advocates for Public Interest Law at the 2017 APIL Gala event.
Mahalo nui to everyone who helped make 2017 a great year for land conservation in Hawai'i!

The South Dakota residential lease is a twelve (12) month term that can be filled in with the landlord, tenant, and property information along with the terms of the agreement between the parties.
Utilities – Electricity, Water, Cable, Internet, etc.
It is recommended after the above items are agreed upon that the landlord accept a rental application to make sure the tenant can afford the monthly amount. A fee may be assessed for this service and once approved a lease should be created and signed. Once all deposits and first month's rent has been collected the tenant shall be given access to the property.
If the residential unit was built before 1978 the landlord will need to issue the lead paint disclosure form to the tenant. It must be signed and attached to the agreement.

Q: 'Assigning to 'id' from incompatible type' I'm implementing a objective C wrapper for Box2d (which is written in c++). The b2Body keeps a reference to its wrapper B2Body in its userData field. GetUserData returns a void*. I'm now implementing fast iteration for getting the B2Bodies out of the B2World.
I get an 'Assigning to 'id' from incompatible type 'B2Body *' error at the line indicated below. Why?
#import "B2Body.h"
#import "B2World.h"
#import "Box2d.h"

@implementation B2World

-(id) initWithGravity:(struct B2Vec2) g
{
  if (self = [super init])
  {
    b2Vec2 *gPrim = (b2Vec2*)&g;
    _world = new b2World(*gPrim);
  }

  return self;
}

- (NSUInteger)countByEnumeratingWithState:(NSFastEnumerationState *)state objects:(id __unsafe_unretained [])buffer count:(NSUInteger)len;

{
  if(state->state == 0)
  {
    state->mutationsPtr = (unsigned long *)self;
    state->extra[0] = (long) ((b2World*)_world)->GetBodyList();
    state->state = 1;
  }

  // pull the box2d body out of extra[0]
  b2Body *b = (b2Body*)state->extra[0];

  // if it's nil then we're done enumerating, return 0 to end
  if(b == nil)
  {
    return nil;
  }

  // otherwise, point itemsPtr at the node's value
  state->itemsPtr = ((B2Body*)b->GetUserData()); // ERROR
  state->extra[0] = (long)b->GetNext();

  // we're returning exactly one item
  return 1;
}

`
B2Body.h looks like this:
    #import
@interface B2Body : NSObject
{
  int f;
}

-(id) init;
@end

A: NSFastEnumerationState is a C structure, and the itemsPtr field is:
id __unsafe_unretained  *itemsPtr;

In earlier versions, the __unsafe_unretained specifier was obviously missing.
Note, that the field itemsPtr is a pointer-to-id.  Since id is essentially a pointer, itemsPtr is a pointer to an object pointer.  Actually, this field is what holds the array of objects that allows the fast enumeration.  Basically, it trolls through this array of object pointers.
Since I know nothing about Box2d, that's about all I can say.  Assuming b->GetUserData() returns a pointer to an array of objects, you should be able to do this:
state->itemsPtr = (__unsafe_unretained id *)b->GetUserData();

While a bit dated, Mike Ash's article is still a great source for implementing fast enumeration.
EDIT
Just noticed that you are returning a single object.  So, I assume GetUserData just returns a single object pointer.  Since you need to return a pointer to object pointers, you would need to do something like this:
id object = (__bridge id)b->GetUserData();
state->itemsPtr = &object;

However, that stack object will be gone once you return from this method, which is why you are passed a stack buffer you can use.  Thus, you should probably stuff that single pointer into the provided stack buffer:
*buffer = (__bridge id)b->GetUserData()
state->itemsPtr = buffer;


House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) today pressed the Justice Department to make senior officials available for interviews with the Committee regarding the Department's knowledge of ATF's Operation Fast and Furious following the shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010. Specifically, Chairman Smith requested to interview Monty Wilkinson, former Deputy Chief of Staff to the Attorney General, and Lanny Breuer, Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division.
Documents released by the Department on Friday indicate that the Attorney General's former Deputy Chief of Staff may have been aware of the connection between Agent Terry's death and Operation Fast and Furious within days of the shooting. The emails also show inconsistencies between statements by Assistant Attorney General Breuer regarding his reaction to the initial discovery that ATF had engaged in gunwalking.
Last Friday, the Justice Department released 486 new documents to the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees as part of compliance with a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee. The emails show an exchange between Mr. Wilkinson and former U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke regarding the death of Agent Terry. Mr. Wilkinson claimed to have notified the Attorney General about the death of Agent Terry and then pressed U.S. Attorney Burke for additional details regarding the shooting. U.S. Attorney Burke later notified Mr. Wilkinson that guns found at the scene of the shooting connected back to "the investigation we were going to talk about." The investigation in question turned out to be Operation Fast and Furious. Mr. Wilkinson replied, "I'll call tomorrow." It is not known if that call ever took place.
Chairman Smith requested that the Department contact the House Judiciary Committee by February 10 to arrange for the interviews of Mr. Wilkinson and Assistant Attorney General Breuer.

In 2011, the Knesset Research and Information Center published disheartening results about the failure of Ethiopian Israelis to find their place in higher education. Dozens of new programs were launched in response. Each is outstanding in its own right, helping Ethiopian students during their preparatory programs and degree studies in colleges and universities. But the value of these projects is limited, because hundreds of young Ethiopian Israelis do not meet the admission requirements of the pre-academic preparatory programs. Moreover, many of them are not exposed to information about the existing programs and do not understand the monumental importance of an academic degree for entering the middle class and finding a job with prospects for advancement. The Second Chance Project believes that it is possible to solve this problem. It has one goal: to help young Ethiopian Israeli women satisfy the entrance criteria of the pre-academic preparatory programs and colleges. The program seeks out young women of the Ethiopian community who have a partial matriculation certificate and matches them with National Service jobs in the fields of education or healthcare, which they perform in the mornings. They spend their afternoons and evenings in English, mathematics, and psychometric courses (a total of 16 classroom hours a week), so that they will be able to take the matriculation exams as external students. In addition, the women are counseled by program staff and are exposed to a broad range of occupational possibilities, such as bookkeeping, preschool education, associate engineering, and nursing. The program involves many challenges for the young women. Many of them, coming from families that live in abject poverty, face a great temptation to drop out of their National Service and study programs and take odd jobs. Their sense of self-efficacy also tends to be low and easily undermined. This is why we added a pilot course in women's empowerment this year, to help them develop their resilience and future-oriented thinking. We hope to see our graduates at the forefront of the developing Ethiopian leadership. Today we are gratified to see that many graduates are indeed breaking new ground in their adult life, both for themselves and for other Ethiopian young women, while staying in contact with us. The program took its first steps back in 1997. Today, guidance counselors and class teachers recognize it as a preferred option for young women who show potential that has not been realized in their high-school years. We run three centers—in Jerusalem, Ramat Gan, and Petah Tiqva—with a capacity of up to 100 women a year. We believe that this is a revolutionary project. We recruit young women from immigrant families who lack financial backing and social mobility. Working together, we are breaking down the boundaries and developing a new generation of educated female leaders for the Ethiopian community.

PITTSBURGH — Frans Nielsen scored twice and the New York Islanders won in Pittsburgh for the first time in more than four years with a 5-3 victory over the Penguins on Tuesday night.
Michael Grabner, David Ullstrom and Kyle Okposo also scored, and Josh Bailey had three assists to help the Islanders end Pittsburgh's 10-game home winning streak with ease. Okposo, Ullstrom and Nielsen scored within a 6-minute span of the second period to break things open.
James Neal scored twice for the Penguins — who lost despite outshooting the Islanders 54-18 — and Tyler Kennedy added a goal. Marc-Andre Fleury gave up five goals on those 18 shots before being replaced in the third by Brad Thiessen and Evgeni Malkin had two assists to boost his point total to 99, tops in the NHL.
Evgeni Nabokov stopped 30 of 32 shots before leaving after two periods with a lower-body injury. Al Montoya made the lead stand up with 21 saves on 22 shots as the Islanders provided a serious speed bump in Pittsburgh's pursuit of the Rangers for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Penguins have simply dominated the Islanders over the last few years, the two points earned for a victory a nearly foregone conclusion. Pittsburgh came in 18-2-2 in its last 22 games against New York and hadn't lost to the Islanders at home since Dec. 21, 2007.
New York hadn't put up much of a fight this season no matter the venue. The Penguins won all four previous meetings, including Sidney Crosby's spectacular four-point night in his season debut on Nov. 21.
Yet with Pittsburgh streaking toward the playoffs trying to track down the Rangers, the Islanders were in no mood to roll over.
Nielsen took advantage off a long rebound off the end boards to drill the puck into a wide-open net just 3:12 in to give New York an early lead. Pittsburgh swarmed Nabokov early, yet the veteran turned away every opportunity and Grabner made it 2-0 when his wrist shot beat Fleury with just 3 seconds left in the period.
It took the Penguins all of 4:10 to erase the deficit, with Kennedy and Neal scoring within a span of 3 minutes. Suddenly Pittsburgh was rolling while the Islanders were, well, looking like the Islanders.
Then just like that, the bottom fell out for the Penguins.
Though the Penguins dictated play, the Islanders ripped off three goals in a span of 6 minutes late in the period behind an effective counter attack and some weird bounces.
Okposo put New York back in front when a pass to the point hopped over Pittsburgh defenseman Brooks Orpik's stick, smacked into the boards at center ice and stopped. Okposo streaked by Orpik and flicked a wrister by Fleury.
Ullstrom's power-play goal put New York up 4-2 and Nielsen capped the outburst by deking past Fleury on a breakaway that ended with Fleury's mask rolling to the boards following a collision with teammate Paul Martin.
Fleury got up slowly and shook his head as he skated to retrieve his mask. He finished the period but spent the final 20 minutes on the bench as Pittsburgh tried to rally.
It never happened. Neal scored his 37th goal with just under 5 minutes to play but the Penguins would get no closer.
NOTES: Crosby, who had 20 points in his last seven games against New York, was held without a point. … Pittsburgh D Ben Lovejoy is out 3-4 weeks after having arthroscopic surgery on his knee. He will likely miss the team's first-round playoff series. … Pascal Dupuis assisted on Kennedy's goal to extend his points streak to 11 games, the longest active streak in the NHL. … The two teams meet at Nassau Coliseum on Thursday … The Islanders completed their season-long five-game road trip with a 4-1 record.

He supervises a 30-member staff based in Washington, D.C., Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria, and manages nearly 40 programs in more than 20 countries.
Before joining CIPE, Alkebsi was director of the Middle East and North Africa division at the National Endowment for Democracy and was executive director at the Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy a non-profit think tank based in Washington, D.C.
Born in Yemen, he now resides in Virginia with his wife and three daughters.
The public is invited free of charge to the Samford program, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Howard Room in Ralph W. Beeson University Center.
Alkebsi's visit to Birmingham will include a dinner presentation to the Birmingham Committee on Foreign Relations. For more information on that event, call Wilma Stewart at (205) 263-4991 ext. 206.

There is always room for improvement in the dunning process!
Optimize your returns through innovative and customer-centric dunning. You want to know more about the reasons why you should optimize your dunning process? Get in touch with us.
The dunning process as part of receivable management is an important component of the order-to-cash process and serves to ensure the collection of accounts receivable. It comes into play once an invoice is not paid promptly and the creditor is entitled to send a payment reminder. This is usually done within the scope of commercial respectively pre-litigation dunning.
A delayed payment does not need to end a good customer relationship. Modern communication media, diverse payment methods and flexible payment options will secure quick debt collection and rather strengthen the customer relationship. An optimized dunning process therefore plays a key role in receivable management, as it avoids the more expensive collection process.
The focus should remain on maintaining the long-term relationship between companies and end customers even in the event of a default of payment. In order to handle it in the most customer-friendly and efficient manner, it is usually necessary to address customers in a targeted manner and to create an IT environment that enables, for example, the control of communication channels and tonality. Individual and digital solutions are just as important for the payment and settlement of a delayed invoice as a tailored and comprehensible dunning message, so that your brand is optimally represented. We therefore provide you with customised solutions for first party debt collection in order to target your customers directly.
Companies are gaining more discretion when it comes to using resources. By avoiding investments in necessary internal dunning processes, this allows them to concentrate on their core business.

NATO, EU Membership Depends on Resolving Serbia, Montenegro Relationship
(Washington, DC--September 1, 2004) Serbia and Montenegro must remain engaged in a stabilization and association process, according to Janusz Bugajski, a prominent East European expert who spoke at a recent RFE/RL briefing in Washington. This, in turn, will increase the likelihood of their future membership in NATO and the European Union. While the possibility of their separation into independent states exists, Bugajski said, "status before standards" is the reality for both republics.
Bugajski, Director of the Eastern Europe Project at the Center for Security and International Studies (CSIS), presented eight points to argue that the stabilization process is crucial to the present and future status of Montenegro. He claimed that, since the 2002 Belgrade Agreement creating the Union, the resulting loose federation of Serbia and Montenegro has been another "failed Balkan experiment" to find a way to integrate both republics into international institutions. Bugajski supported his claim with a series of examples of the ways in which the Union does not function: Union decisions carry little authority, in comparison to those made at the republic level; the republics have yet to bring their constitutions into line with the Union constitution; no popular direct election to the Assembly of Serbia and Montenegro or other political bodies of the Union has taken place; no agreement has been reached on a common coat-of-arms and national anthem for the Union; no common Union currency exists.
Describing it as an "ambiguous state", Bugajski said that it was highly unlikely that either NATO or the EU would admit Serbia and Montenegro until the two republics resolved their internal, bilateral relationship. He argued that NATO will not allow into its ranks uncertain states or those that aspire to control territories where the views of the majority differ from that of the central government. For example, the Czech-Slovak "velvet divorce" of 1993 showed how security, market reform and international institutional integration are more likely to be achieved by ending broken federations and eliminating real or perceived territorial ambitions toward neighboring lands.
Bugajski also offered several arguments for why both republics should become fully independent states. He suggested that it is more economical and less costly to have two governments rather than three, considering that both Serbia and Montenegro have functioning governmental institutions. Bugajski countered the assertion that Montenegro is not a viable economic power, arguing that it, as a single state, could pursue free trade relations and better investment opportunities.
According to Bugajski, Serbia and Montenegro should "stand on [their] own feet," noting that it would be more efficient for both the EU and NATO to deal with independent nations in negotiating membership. He said that a rational policy for western institutions would encourage a divorce or, at least, take a neutral stance on the future status of the Union. Bugajski asserted that it was unlikely that Slovenia would be already be a member of NATO or the EU if it had remained in a confederation with the rest of Yugoslavia. As no history of violence exists between Serbia and Montenegro, Bugajski said that a useful opportunity existed for a peaceful and amicable divorce -- and that a mutual resolve to live as good neighbors would benefit both Serbia and Montenegro.

On 31st March the UN Security Council will meet to renew the mandate of the UN mission in Congo (MONUC). Global Witness (1) calls on the UNSC to expand MONUC's mandate to ensure they can take action to stop the continuing and devastating links between natural resource exploitation and conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) which continues to threaten regional stability.
Furthermore on 29th March the Security Council will review Liberian diamond sanctions. Given the total lack of governmental control over diamond rich areas, and the current lack of deployment of United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) in these areas, Global Witness urges the Security Council to maintain diamond sanctions. Otherwise, regional stability will be jeopardised and the progress made thus far by the UN will be undermined.
The transitional government's lack of capacity to control its resources or vast borders has led to smuggling of both natural resources and arms. Global Witness calls on the Security Council to tackle the illegal export of resources and the trafficking of weapons by monitoring airstrips in eastern and north-eastern DRC where persistent reports of arms smuggling and illegal resource exportation remain.
Global Witness investigations in Liberia uncovered a staggering lack of control of resource rich areas and border regions. While Global Witness welcomes the Security Councils inclusion of natural resources in the mandate of the UNMIL, their lack of any legal authority to arrest and stop illegal timber or diamond operations vastly undermines their effectiveness. This has led to a growing sense of impunity and a resurgence of illegal mining and logging activities. Global Witness recommends the immediate deployment of UNMIL troops to areas rich in natural resources, known smuggling routes and greater monitoring of Liberia's traditionally porous borders.
(3)	For more information on Global Witness's work on Liberia see 'Dangerous Liaisons: The ongoing relationship between Liberia's natural resource industries, arms trafficking and regional insecurity', December 2004; 'Resource Curse or Cure?: Reforming Liberia's governance and logging industry', September 2004; 'Liberia: Back to the future-What is the future of Liberia's forests and its effect on regional peace?', May 2004.

Le  ou Dit de Hōgen est une chronique guerrière japonaise  qui rapporte les événements et les personnages principaux de la rébellion de Hōgen. On estime que ce classique littéraire et historique a été achevé durant l'époque de Kamakura vers 1320. Son ou ses auteurs restent inconnus. Les événements rapportés dans le Hōgen monogatari précèdent ceux qui seront relatés dans le Heiji monogatari.

Rivalités
Comme dans le Heiji monogatari, des rivalités à de multiples niveaux et inter relationnelles amènent à la guerre et les principaux protagonistes sont présentés selon l'ordre traditionnel de leur statut : les empereurs et les anciens empereurs d'abord, puis les ministres Fujiwara en deuxième suivis des guerriers du clan Minamoto en troisième.
 Premier niveau de rivalité, conflits entre empereurs :
 empereur cloîtré , 1103-1156
 empereur cloîtré , 1119-1164
 empereur régnant , 1127-1192
 Deuxième niveau de rivalité, conflits entre aristocrates kuge, entre les fils de , 1078-1162
 , 1097-1164
 , 1120-1156.
 Troisième niveau de rivalité, conflits entre (et au sein) de clans guerriers, entre les fils de , 1096-1156
 les fils ainés de Tameyoshi soutiennent Go-Shirakawa
 Tameyoshi et ses jeunes fils soutiennent Sutoku.

Comme dans le Heiji monogatari, la structure narrative est divisée en trois segments :
 la première partie présente les personnages et les rivalités qui les opposent ;
 la deuxième partie relate le cours des conflits ;
 la troisième partie rapporte les tragiques conséquences.

Historiographie du monogatari
Les Japonais ont développé un certain nombre de stratégies complémentaires pour la capture, la conservation et la diffusion des éléments essentiels de leur histoire nationale communément acceptée - chroniques des souverains et des événements, biographies des personnalités éminentes et le conte militaire ou gunki monogatari. Cette dernière forme a évolué à partir d'un intérêt dans l'enregistrement des activités des conflits militaires à la fin du . Les grandes batailles, les escarmouches et les petits conflits individuels - ainsi que les personnalités militaires qui animent ces contes - ont tous été transmis de génération en génération sous la forme narrative du Hōgen monogatari (1156), du Heiji monogatari (1159-1160) et du Heike monogatari (1180-1185).

Dans chacun de ces monogatari familiers, les figures centrales sont populaires, les événements majeurs sont généralement compris et les enjeux tels qu'ils ont été compris à l'époque sont classiquement admis comme éléments de la fondation de la culture japonaise. La précision de chacun de ces documents historiques appelle nécessairement une étude plus approfondie et certains épisodes ont résisté à un examen minutieux, tandis que d'autres « faits » présumés se sont révélés être inexacts.

Early Car License Plates
The first law enacted in Montana providing for the registration of motor vehicles was enacted by the l3th regular session of the Montana Legislature held during January and February, 1913. At this session Custer County was represented by O. C. Cato as Senator, and by Elmer Holt, W. H. Kelly and Frank D. O'Neil as Representatives. Parenthetically we might add that Custer County must have gone Democratic at the election held in November, 1912 as each of these gentlemen were members of that political faith. Under the provisions of the new act, in order to obtain a certificate of registration for a motor vehicle, it was necessary for the owner to file with the Secretary of State at Helena a written application, sworn to before a notary public, giving a brief description of the vehicle, including the name of the manufacturer, the manufacturer's number, the character of the motor power, and the amount of such motor power stated in figures of horsepower, together with the name and address of the owner and the name of the county in which he resided. Upon receipt of this application and a fee of $2.00, if the Secretary of State was satisfied that the statements contained in the application were correct, it was his duty to register such vehicle with the name and address of the owner and the facts stated in the application in a book or index to be kept for that purpose and to assign to the owner a distinctive number and registration mark for such vehicle to be displayed on the front and rear of the unit, securely fastened, so as not to swing. For the convenience of the public, it was also necessary that the Secretary of State submit to the county clerk of each county, once a month, a list of cars so registered, together with the names and addresses of the owners and the numbers assigned.
An inquiry addressed to the present Secretary of State as to who obtained the first certificate of registration under the first law brings the information that those records are not available now, but, undoubtedly it was issued to Edwin L. Norris (another Democrat), who was then Governor of Montana, as it was the custom during the first few years of the operation of the Registration Act that the Governor be issued Registration Plate No. 1. Remember, this law provided only for the registration of the automobile. There was another law passed at the same session of the legislature which provided for licensing of the vehicle and the fees therefor. These licenses were issued by the county treasurer, and the fees collected were divided between the general road fund of the county and the state highway fund.

Girolamo Fantini è noto principalmente per il suo metodo Modo per imparare a sonare di tromba (1638), uno dei primi della storia e comunque di fondamentale importanza per la successiva evoluzione dello strumento.

Biografia
Poche sono le notizie, giunte sino a noi, che riguardano la sua vita.

Con certezza sappiamo che dall'aprile 1631 divenne Trombettista di Corte del Granduca di Toscana Ferdinando II de' Medici.

All'epoca il suonatore di tromba veniva definito "trombetta" (da qui deriva etimologicamente il termine "trombettista"), quindi Fantini era il "trombetta maggiore" del granduca.

Com'era usanza in quel tempo, questo impiego prevedeva parecchi spostamenti al seguito del proprio signore; infatti dopo il 1631 fu ripetutamente a Roma.

Nell'estate del 1634 Fantini si esibì nelle stanze del Cardinale Borghese, insieme con Girolamo Frescobaldi (all'epoca organista della Basilica di San Pietro a Roma), in uno storico concerto: questo fu infatti il primo nella storia per tromba e organo. Si dice che in quell'occasione Fantini suonò, con la sua tromba naturale, delle note al di fuori della serie armonica, cosa che impressionò parecchio gli spettatori.

Nel 1636, in occasione dell'incoronazione di Ferdinando III a imperatore del Sacro Romano Impero, si recò in Germania, dove a Francoforte nel 1638 pubblicò il trattato Modo per Imparare a Sonare di Tromba, Tanto di Guerra Quanto Musicalmente in Organo, con Tromba Sordina, col Cimbalo e ogn'altro istrumento (dedicato a Ferdinando II).

In questo Metodo, Fantini si occupa marginalmente della tromba quale strumento di cavalleria, o per emettere segnali di guerra, come era stata intesa fino a quel momento; ma per la prima volta compone vere e proprie musiche espressamente dedicate allo strumento, quali balletti, ricercate, danze e sonate, spesso accompagnate dal basso (da eseguirsi con organo).

Tale innovazione aprì la strada alla grande e luminosa tradizione della tromba barocca, che ebbe il suo culmine nel XVIII secolo.

I have interest in the Mejia autograph, will see if I have anything of comparable value of your PC players.
Interested in tucking away that Happ auto. No GU or AU I think you'd be interested in. Have a couple decent Aaron cards available.
I can do that, but just check Beckett OPG and it now books at $15. If you still want to do the 3 cards for the auto post it up.
I like the Marte and Rosario Auto's. I have the following cards of the players in your sig and here is the link to my trade list http://www.thebenchtrading.com/showt...de-List-Inside!!
I also have a Nolan Ryan Mini Postcard that's Autographed but the condition isn't great. LMK Thank you!
Sorry could not trade those autos for them.

Q: Reading and writing in UTF8 a text file in C using regex I have to write a simple piece of code that acts on a file; my software have to scans the file searching for a pattern with a regex (I never had to use the regex in C, but generally speaking, I know them) and it always have to pretends to decode and encode in UTF8.
The file has also a UNIX file format and it could be really nice to have multiple regex running at the same time like with an OR statement or similar.

A: I use the pcre library for using regex in C/C++. Originally because we were porting perl code to C, and its a good simple library with UTF-8 support. http://www.pcre.org/
And when we have to deal with non UTF-8 encodings we use the iconv library to convert to UTF-8 first. http://www.gnu.org/s/libiconv/

ROBBINSVILLE, NJ - (November 3, 2015) – Sustainable Jersey representatives have announced that Robbinsville Township has met the rigorous requirements to achieve Sustainable Jersey certification. The Robbinsville application was approved for 17 actions in seven categories for a total of 170 points.
Robbinsville is one of 48 towns that have attained certification in 2015 and will be honored at theSustainable Jersey awards luncheon on Tuesday, November 17 in Atlantic City with Business Administrator Joy Tozzi accepting the award.
"Led by Joy, our Green Team worked incredibly hard to meet the rigorous criteria needed to achieve bronze status, while still attending to their everyday township duties,'' Mayor Dave Fried said. "Robbinsville, formerly Washington Township, was established as a farming community in 1860 and although we are now a leader in business and industry, this great honor proves we are still very environmentally conscious. We are incredibly proud to officially be part of Sustainable Jersey.''
To become Sustainable Jersey certified, Robbinsville submitted documentation to show it had completed a balance of the required sustainability actions, meeting a minimum of 150 action points. In addition to reaching 150 points, each certified community had to create a green team and select at least 2 out of 11 priority action options. Robbinsville met the action requirement in assorted areas that included:
1) energy tracking & management, 2) inventory & upgrade all buildings, 3) green business recognition program, 4) fleet inventory, 5) climate adaptation: flooding risk, 6) municipal carbon footprint, 7) sustainable land use pledge, 8) natural resource inventory, 9) water conservation ordinance, 10) prescription drug safety and disposal, and/or 11) diversity on boards & commissions.
"Becoming Sustainable Jersey certified is a significant achievement," said Randall Solomon, co-director of Sustainable Jersey. "The 189 Sustainable Jersey certified towns demonstrate leadership and are a testament to how much we can accomplish toward the long-term goal of a sustainable New Jersey."
Certified towns excelled in areas such as improving energy efficiency and health and wellness, reducing waste, sustaining local economies, protecting natural resources and advancing the arts. "Collectively the 430 participating Sustainable Jersey towns are a powerful force in New Jersey," said Donna Drewes, co-director of Sustainable Jersey.

Arbe Robotics Selects GLOBALFOUNDRIES for its High Resolution Imaging Radar to Enable Safety for Autonomous Cars
Arbe Robotics Selects GLOBALFOUNDRIES for its High-Resolution Imaging Radar to Enable Safety for Autonomous Cars
Arbe Robotics' proprietarychipset leverages GF's 22FDX® technology to deliver industry's first real-time 4D imaging radar for level 4 and 5 autonomous driving
Santa Clara, Calif., April 26, 2018 – GLOBALFOUNDRIES today announced that Arbe Robotics has selected GF's 22FDX® process for its groundbreaking patented imaging radar that will achieve fully automated system capabilities and enable safer driving experiences for autonomous vehicles.
Arbe Robotics' radar is the first in the world to show real-time 1 degree resolution and provide the required enhancements for sensors and ADAS technologies. Arbe's goal is to build a sensing system with high resolution and zero false alarms, so vehicles will be able to make decisions relying exclusively on the data provided by the radar. Leveraging GF's 22FDX FD-SOI technology, the new chipset is increasing the amount of transmitting and receiving channels on a chip and allowing for better integration to Arbe's proprietary processor.
The rise of autonomous driving is changing the automobile semiconductor market, which is expected to grow to an estimated $54 billion by 2023. This is driven by a need for new technologies that promise to enhance the driving experience, such as 360-degree surround view monitoring, which requires high resolution and long-range capabilities. GF's 22FDX process provides the superior RF performance, power consumption, low noise, and high digital density to increase range and improve resolution for these applications.
As the first company to demonstrate ultra-high-resolution at a wide field of view, Arbe Robotics' radar technology can detect pedestrians and obstacles at a range of 300 meters, in any weather and lighting conditions. The processor creates a full 3D shape of the objects and their velocity, and classifies targets using their radar signature.
"Arbe Robotics' Imaging Radar is optimized for providing a real-time 4D picture of the environment at ultra high resolution," said Kobi Marenko, CEO of Arbe Robotics. "The collaboration with GF is a significant step towards archiving the high-performance level required for autonomous driving safety. With over a decade of automotive industry experience, GF's 22FDX delivers a performance on-demand, energy-efficient solution for our current and future radar technology needs."
"The trend of autonomous driving is progressing rapidly, and with it is the need for high-resolution radar. The future will rely on a mix of real-time maps, advanced navigation software, and live data from vehicle sensors," said Mark Granger, vice president of automotive at GF. "That's why GF is pleased Arbe Robotics has chosen our 22FDX platform, together bringing valuable attributes that support the explosive growth of the autonomous driving industry."
GF's 22FDX platform is a part of the company's AutoPro™ solutions, which provides customers with additional access to manufacturing services that support the full range of AEC-Q100 quality grades from Grade 2 to Grade 0 to minimize certification efforts and speed time-to-market.

Andy Halliday has Boro future, says Mowbray
ANDY Halliday will eventually make a big impact at Boro, predicts Tony Mowbray.
Philip Tallentire
The 20-year-old Scottish winger has struggled to break into the first team squad this season and joined Walsall on loan on Wednesday.
But Mowbray still sees a future for Halliday at Boro.
He said: "Walsall asked about him, I asked the boy if he was interested, he said he was and he wants to go and play.
"It's for no other reason than to give him football matches and keep him ready and somewhere along the line I'm sure he'll make a big impact with our club, as we know he has the talent to do.
"As anyone who was at Ipswich Town last season would see," added the Boro boss, referring to Halliday's outstanding display in the 3-3 draw at Portman Road.
"That's the main reason he's gone to Walsall, to give the boy who's worked very hard during the week something to look forward to on a weekend."
Halliday was signed by Gordon Strachan in the summer of 2010 and made 12 Championship appearances last season but has had no first team game time this time around.
"Watching him in training every day he's very competitive," said Mowbray.
"For such a young boy he's got a big personality about the way he plays his football. It's very frustrating for Andrew to train every week and work so hard and at the end of the week not even make the bench.
"It's one of the negatives of only having five subs instead of seven, where you would be able to give lads like Andrew encouragement and give them some game time now and then.
"He was almost like a bubbling stove, ready to play, ready to go, needing to play and it's sometimes better to just let them go and play and compete for another club."

Q: How to see and access unsynced folders in Cloud storage service? I have very little disk space. I'd like to store rarely used files in the cloud and not on my own computer but still have access to them. I want only a few folders on my hard drive and the rest should be downloaded on demand, edited, synced back to the cloud and then deleted from my hard drive.
I used Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive, but all of them only allow me to choose which folders to synchronize. Any other, not chosen folders can't be seen in cloud service directory. I want them to be seen in the cloud directory but not stored on my hard drive, something like network resource.
Is there any cloud service with functionality like that?

Q: openshift 3.11 oc command : error: Error loading config file ".kube/config": yaml: line 11: could not find expected ':' In a okd cluster installed using https://github.com/openshift/origin/tree/release-3.11
After the okd installation the oc command was working fine but after somedays, I'm facing a weird issue with oc command i.e running any oc command in the cluster is giving
[kubenode@master ~]$ oc status
error: Error loading config file "/home/kubenode/.kube/config": yaml: line 11: could not find expected ':'

The permission of the /home/kubenode/.kube/config is :
[kubenode@master ~]$ ls -al /home/kubenode/.kube/config
-rwx------. 1 kubenode kubenode 6102 Dec 11 00:30 /home/kubenode/.kube/config

While trying to solve this, what I have done is,
Empty the file /home/kubenode/.kube/config and copy the content of /etc/origin/master/admin.kubeconfig to /home/kubenode/.kube/config
This has solved the problem but its temporary solution because after some time(few hours) again i get the issue.
What could be the root cause for this and what can be the permanent fix?

A: This is the intended behaviour, as Access tokens and Authorize codes are supposed to only have a limited lifetime.
You should review the Configuring authentication and user agent documentation to set the following options to your liking (for example much longer timeouts) in your /etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml on your Master Nodes:
oauthConfig:
  ...
  tokenConfig:
    accessTokenMaxAgeSeconds: 86400
    authorizeTokenMaxAgeSeconds: 300
  ...
  sessionConfig:
    sessionMaxAgeSeconds: 300

Note that you'll need to apply these settings to all Master Nodes in your cluster. After changing the settings, remember to restart the API and the Controllers using the following commands:
# master-restart api
# master-restart controllers


Have you ever been tempted by investments offering spectacularly high returns? Was it an interesting investment opportunity but one that you did not fully understand? Was further information available only if you paid a membership fee, made an upfront investment, or recruited others as new investors? Such offer is very likely to be a pyramid scheme fraud (also known as a plane game or Ponzi scheme).
1. Does the investment promise returns that seem excessive?
The higher the return, the greater the risk. Be careful and consider whether the promised gains are realistic. Check the internet to see what returns are offered by rival companies and whether the return in this case is not improbable. Be particularly on guard against offers of guaranteed returns.
Check subjekty.nbs.sk for whether the company is supervised by Národná banka Slovenska or any other foreign supervisory authority, and whether it has authorisation to conduct such business in Slovakia.
Check NBS warnings for whether NBS has issued any warning about the company.
Check where the company has its registered office. Be suspicious if the registered office of a company offering services exclusively online is in a tax haven or outside the European Union.
Find out about the company on the internet. Check online discussion forums to see whether consumers are complaining about the company or have lost money by investing with it.
Pyramid schemes work on the principle that the money you invest is used mainly to pay those who have made upfront payments before you and are waiting for the return on their 'investment'. A large share of the money is used to enrich the management at the top of the pyramid. The scheme continues until no more payouts can be made, i.e. when no new investors can be found, at which point the scheme collapses.
Immediately inform the police or public prosecutor based closest to where you live.
Inform Národná banka Slovenska. NBS cooperates with the law enforcement authorities. Although NBS has no power to recover your money, it may issue a public warning and thus help other consumers.
Never conclude a contract for a financial product or service (such as, for example, a loan, insurance policy, investment, savings vehicle or pension scheme) other than with an entity authorised to conduct such business.
Before investing with an unknown company, consider whether you are prepared to risk losing all your investment.
Don't take decisions under pressure and take time to think over any investment offer. Respectable companies will never urge you to decide.
Such investments are not covered by the Investment Guarantee Fund and if, for example, the company is dissolved, the investors will most probably never get their money back.
Be on particular guard against products/services not subject to NBS supervision.
